Rome to Amalfi Coast by coach plus ferry to Positano and Amalfi, with limoncello tasting and guided history in one long day.

Private, air-conditioned Rome to Civitavecchia cruise port transfer with hotel pickup, luggage help, and door-to-terminal drop-off for up to 8.
“We booked a car transfer from our hotel in Rome to the port in Civitavecchia, and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Edward was amazing—an excellent driver who was professional, courteous, and got us to the cruise ship right on time. The ride was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!”
Hop-on hop-off Tiber River boat in Rome with 2 days unlimited rides, 4 central stops, and a multi-language audio guide for $24.
“The boat only runs until 7:00 so it’s not as useful transport as it could be have been. We paid for the all day transport but only used it for one stop in the afternoon so it wasn’t a great deal. Downstairs in the boat was a lot of fumes so everyone wanted to to sit upstairs in the open of course. But there weren’t a lot of seats and several of us stood. There is no tour guide talking so I don’t know what that part of the rating survey was about. It’s a nice little boat ride on the river, but if you are planning a ride, I…”
Private Rome to Civitavecchia cruise port transfer. Air-conditioned van, flexible pickup, port access to the ship, luggage help, great value.
“Our driver was on time (even came early upon on our request), friendly and a great driver. Great service and would highly recommend.”
One-hour Tiber river boat cruise from Ponte Sant’Angelo with an aperitif table, wine, and next-day hop-on boat access.

Private Mercedes transfer from Rome hotels to Civitavecchia cruise port. Door pickup, luggage help, car seats on request, smooth drop-off.
“Driver, Roberto,,was early. Very friendly. Packed up luggage and unloaded luggage for 5 guests. He was great and I would request him again.”
Private ship-to-Rome transfer from Civitavecchia with timed pier pickup, clean air-conditioned van, and hotel drop-off for up to 3.

Private transfer from Civitavecchia to Rome Fiumicino Airport, right at your ship, in an air-conditioned Mercedes, for a relaxed landing.
“Upon exiting the cruise ship our driver was waiting for us with a sign. She was very professional and pleasant. It was 6:45 AM and her friendliness was most welcomed!!”
Small-group Capri boat tour with grottos, Faraglioni views, swimming time, snacks, and round-trip train transfers from Rome.
“This would have been the highlight of my trip to Italy but we never got to go. The trains were delayed due to an issue they had and our trip was cancelled. I really would have loved the option to still go but leave later in the day but that was not an option as “the transfer driver can only wait until 9”. I am not going to be dramatic and say this ruined my honeymoon, but honestly I was extremely disappointed about not being able to go. I could not reschedule as offered because we are leaving too soon.”
Private Civitavecchia port transfer to Rome or airports in a luxury car or minivan, with included waiting time and easy meet-and-greet.
“Lovely but long ride to central Rome. Right on time. Good driving. Nice conversation. Well worth the price!”
Full-day Rome highlights from Civitavecchia with an English guide at St. Peter’s, Colosseum, Trevi, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and free time.
“Great way to see all the key sites. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. There was plenty of time for photos and shopping.”
Fast train from Rome plus a small-group boat along the Amalfi Coast, with swim time, snacks, and stops in Amalfi and Positano.
“Wonderful trip to the Amalfi Coast. Easy transportation from Rome! We felt like we had enough time (1-1 1/2 hours) in Amalfi and Positano. The boat driver was excellent at navigating the water and the super busy ports. The other assistant was friendly and engaging. I would highly recommend it! Would have been nice over a 14 hour day to have more than just a sandwich provided. They had water, Coke, wine/beer. Would have loved a Coke Zero - felt like they could have asked ahead of time requests for beverages.”
Row your own boat on Villa Borghese Lake, get up close to the Temple of Aesculapius, then enjoy a classic Roman aperitif lakeside.
“Ottima organizzazione: ci hanno fatto saltare la fila all'ingresso. Durante il giro in barca ci hanno anche scattato delle foto, un ricordo che abbiamo apprezzato tantissimo. L'aperitivo finale ben curato e decisamente buono. Atmosfera rilassante e perfetta per coppie.”
Private Mercedes transfer from Civitavecchia to Rome. Meet at the pier, ride in comfort, and drop off at your hotel with less luggage stress.
“Excellent experience, driver told us when he arrived at the ship. Sign was very visible. Pleasant drive to the hotel, car was clean and comfortable.”
Every kind of Roman day, and the best of each.
